This was a wonderful experience, with a lovely tour guide (the white beard guy). Just the right length of time for an introduction to the legend and the loch. We loved it!

Lovely time on the water. Not as many photo ops as we hoped but nice tour, professionally done. If you like the water - you'll like the ride! And kudos to a Captain who knews how to dock a boat!!! I wish he gave private lessons.
